Mealtime Difficulties

My 11 months old boy is generally a calm and easygoing baby, but he is a different person when it comes to mealtime. The cranky moment starts when he is placed on the high chair where he will twist and turn (I think its the safety strap which locks him in one position). He will resist and eat, resist and eat, and mealtime can goes up to an hour. Since we think high chair is the problem, we now feed him in other room on a portable chair. The crankiness and screaming reduced significantly but he is still be very distracted and want to get out of the chair (he is strapped in here as well). Mealtime still takes almost a hour...
Fyi, I personally feed my boy and have not really gone into BLW because the gagging really gets to me....

Would love to hear from your experiences and/or any success stories :)

Tell me this isn't a normal convo between hubby and wife..

Please read before voting cause I'm mega pissed off!! We were having a convwrsation about ticktock which lead to his favourite person (a woman with an Of account & 2 kids under 30 apparently)

Me: well she's young she can eat what she likes and burn it off. When you hit 30, game over (from experience)
Him: not everyone restricts themselves like you
Me: I just don't eat that much
Him: well shes had two kids and still looking fine.. *smirk*
Me: 😒
Him: truth..
Me: wtf!! You can't say stuff like that with that smirk and not expect me to kick off..
Him: you're over reacting again..
Me: any woman would be annoyed..

And so the conversation turned into an argument about him being wrong and said he prefers younger looking women than his 34yr old wife who is a size 6 UK BTW

Are men just stupid or what?? When doesn't he realise that it's not okay to talk like this to people when he's obsessed with ticktock??

Meal ideas

What’s your baby’s favourite meal? I need new ideas

Again something I never thought my daughter would like

I gave her one because she kept staring at me eating. She's had 5 since. She's 10.5 months. My 3 yo refused to even eat the rice because it touched a chip.

Living in a flat with little ones

For those of you who live in a flat, do you use the communal garden as your 'garden' and if so what's your set up like? Just need some inspo🥰

Husband is a jerk

Tell me if this is ridiculous.

We took our son to the park this morning because I wanted to get out of the house. My husband is always starting at his computer, he woke up late (it’s a Saturday), I made breakfast, got my son up, changed his diaper, cleaned the kitchen.

We made plans with my sister in law to meet up an hour away to get our kids together. After we get home from the park, we have 25 minutes until we need to leave. I’m packing snacks, feeding our toddler, trying to get everything ready to go while my husband sits on his computer and makes himself a smoothie. I have to tell him to let his dog out and to pack the diaper bag. Mind you, I told him I needed to get my makeup on and pack up my lunch.

He doesn’t care he goes to the bathroom and gets himself ready.

I’m pissed. I’m tired of delegating and mothering. I said we just wouldn’t go. And he says he’s just going to go without me even though I’m the one who wants to get out and see people, packs things up and gets everyone ready.

Am I the asshole or is he?

BLW rice

Has anybody given rice yet? We are having a rice dish for tea and baby is just short of 9 months, which the solid starts app says from 9 months they can be served rice as it comes (cooked of course). How is everyone else serving it?
